The First Cardiology Apple CareKit App

About Corrie

Corrie Health App

The Johns Hopkins Corrie mobile health solution aims to reinvent the cardiac patient’s experience to assist the patient who suffered a heart attack in (1) skill-building for diet, exercise, and medication habits, (2) connecting with resources to help recovery, (3) mindfulness techniques to improve patient awareness and emotional strength, and (4) data analytics and biofeedback on steps, heart rate, and blood pressure with smart tools including an Apple Watch and Bluetooth blood pressure monitor. This patient self-management tool is provided early in admission to help patients improve their recovery and skills from the beginning of their hospitalization.

Clinical Research Study at Johns Hopkins

Research

This research study investigates how this app could be used to help patients recover from a heart attack in a safer and more effective way. We will examine what happens when patients are given an app with necessary information and resources early in the heart attack recovery process. The study will determine if it is feasible to help patients navigate the hospital discharge process using our digital health solution to educate themselves about their heart disease, new medications, follow-up, and how recovery is going after a heart attack. Data acquired will be analyzed to help make the app easier to use and more helpful for patients recovering from a heart attack in the future.

Testimonials

Cardiac NurseBaltimore, Maryland

“Patients feel in charge of their care and I really feel that we are getting to the patient centered care approach that we often talk about but not necessarily practice. Patients report feeling closer to their health care team and get more engaged in their care.”

Heart Attack SurvivorBaltimore, Maryland

"Corrie helped to save my life."

Cardiac NurseBaltimore, Maryland

"Corrie is a phenomenal application for us. I have heard patients say that they really like having all the information streamlined in their hand. Having the app upon discharge reiterates what we have been talking about with their health. Corrie fills a gap that exists in the transition from discharge to home."

Heart Attack SurvivorEssex, Maryland

“I trust the Johns Hopkins and Apple team to make something that works for me and other heart attack survivors."

Heart Attack SurvivorBaltimore, Maryland

"Corrie was an essential tool for my recovery, and I relied on it for my medications on a daily basis. I really appreciated the Johns Hopkins staff support in helping me get much, much better."

Heart Attack SurvivorBaltimore, Maryland

"The videos were really helpful. I learned more about what was going on. So, I binge-watched them. When the doctors gave me the [consent] papers [for heart surgery], they don't give you the visual. The videos are a lot more helpful than the written papers.
